There was a sharp contrast between the Cooper family and the Kyle family. In the recent two generations, the marriages in the Cooper family were all for political benefit, but the marriages in the Kyle family were purely based on love.
Nathaniel Cooper had always lived in a cold family filled with political turmoil ever since he was a child. Karen Joy Kyle, on the other hand, grew up in a warm and loving family.
When Karen Joy was very young, her father had taught her one thing that was how to love. To love herself, to love her family, and to love her genuine friends.
As for Nathaniel, he had learned one thing since he was a child too, that was, political strategies. No matter how strong the opponent was, no matter who the opponent was, and no matter by what means, he must find a way to defeat them.
"Brother Lionel..." Karen Joy turned around and hugged him tightly around his waist. "Brother Lionel, don't be afraid, you have me. I will try my best so that we can have a happy family together, just like my grandparents and my parents."
Her words were always so comforting that it had always managed to warm up his cold heart in an instant. Nathaniel smiled and said, "Karen, you know what? It was only after I had gone to the Kyle family that I have realized that there was such family life that existed in the world."
The husband loved and doted on his wife and the wife took great care of her husband. Everyone cared about each other. They would gather every night to eat together and live a harmonious life.
In the past, Nathaniel had never experienced it before. In his mind, every family should be the same as his family. They would sleep separately in their own rooms and eat their own meals.
The only time that the entire family would come together to have a meal was definitely during the festivals, but it was purely an act to show off to their citizens.
Karen Joy hugged him even tighter. "Brother Lionel, the past is already in the past. Let's not dwell on it anymore. For now on, I will be by your side and we will live a good life together."
"Okay." He nodded. "I brought you here today because I wanted to tell you some stories about my grandparents."
By telling the stories, he could constantly remind himself that no matter what had happened, he must not follow the footsteps of his elders.
He didn't want to live that cold and heartless life anymore. He wanted to take Karen Joy's hand and live a normal life with her.
"Okay, tell me, I want to listen to it." Karen Joy was still hugging him tightly. She wanted to let him feel her with her actions that she would stay with him forever.
Nathaniel looked into the distance and said slowly, "My grandmother was born rich. Not only was she rich, but she also was a startling beauty."
"There were so many men who wanted to marry her that there was enough to surround the entire North Palace. However, she had never taken a fancy on those men who were chosen by her family. She was only fond of one man."
"That gentleman's name was Eason Sam. He was an outstanding and knowledgeable man. But because of his poor family background, he couldn't display his talent at that time, so he could only be a private tutor for the wealthy."
"When the two of them met, it was the perfect story of a young and handsome man meeting a beautiful lady. They had good impressions of each other. The seeds of love had then unknowingly sprouted in their hearts."
